About The Darker my Horizon

Formed late 2014 from the ashes of 'Sacred Heart' (Paul Stead - lead vocals & guitar / Mark Stephenson - lead guitar & backing vocals) who released 4 well received albums from 2004 to 2011, and who played headline, support and festival dates all over the UK with the likes of: Thunder, The Quireboys, Blaze Bayley/Wolfsbane (ex-Iron Maiden), Saxon, Tygers Of Pan-Tang, Girlschool, Toby Jepson (ex-The Little Angels), Asia, Kee Marcello (ex-Europe), Dokken, Bonfire,
House Of Lords, and many more.

Former 'Born to be Jovi' bassist Max Notaro - who's tribute to Jon, Ritchie & co led them to dates all over Europe, including a full house at Lords Cricket Ground and performing at MTV Music Awards in Berlin. And recently joined ex'Black Forge' drummer Gavin Rodriguez - means 'The Darker my Horizon' are made up of extremely experienced musicians.

An original melodic hard rock band influenced by classic rockers like Bon-Jovi, Europe, Whitesnake, AC/DC & Guns 'n' Roses etc right through to modern arena giants such as Nickelback, Hinder, Disturbed, Foo Fighters, Black Stone Cherry and so on - TDmH have a mixture of upbeat catchy anthems, brooding rockers and heartfelt power ballads.
